Â

Bradley Lockhart is Shaniya Davisâ€™s father.Â She lived with him until recently, and he allowed her to live with her mother once it was proven to him that she could provide a stable home for her daughter.Â Unfortunately, the story has a tragic ending.

Â

What could possibly inspire a mother to traffic her own daughter, selling her in to prostitution?Â It is very, very rare to see such a young child trafficked.Â The current entry age in to prostitution is currently 12 to 14 and for the most part the trafficked children are runaways and throwaways.Â A 5 year old cannot fend for herself.
